Shiraz brings dark fruit richness, Grenache adds bright aromatics and lift, while Mourvèdre contributes savoury structure. The palate is generous and layered, framed by fine tannins, spice and bright acidity that carries through to a long, pure finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAwards \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e95 Points\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Vintage Journal \u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDeep crimson.

The aim of Plexus is to express a wide spectrum of fruit flavours, whilst ensuring seamless integration of the contrasting characters of the three varietals. Shiraz provides rich dark fruits and mid palate weight, whilst Grenache delivers a bright flavour spectrum of red fruits and spiced notes. Old vine Mourvèdre is integral to the blend, ensuring a good firm backbone of savoury tannin and a long finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Duval Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45315051487386,"sku":"11546","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0559\/6531\/9322\/files\/john-duval-wines-plexus-red_bcdd3997-67dd-4e7d-bee7-a8e4a580769f.png?v=1738642703"},{"product_id":"spinifex-bete-noir-shiraz-2022","title":"Spinifex Bete Noir Shiraz 2023","description":"\u003ch2\u003eTasting Note\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA brooding, complex nose layered with blackberry, blackcurrant and dark cherry, laced with white pepper, rosemary and a touch of savoury spice.
